| - National, you had me at fish tacos.
National is located on 10th avenue in the SW or for some people...it's known as the old Whiskey nightclub. Parking is pay for parking across the street but there is some street parking out front if you're lucky! They've got a bowling alley that I haven't seen yet (but will!!). I heard it was not your ordinary old school bowling alley but a pretty sexy alley. Also, they have a games room that is fully equipped with two table soccer games and two ping pong tables. Apparently ping pong night is on Wednesdays.
After a few games of badminton, Jason brought me to National. He mentioned that they had great fish tacos and I was sold. It was about 6PM and the place was already pretty busy but luckily we grabbed a window table in the bar. Jason ordered the Mill Street which is an organic lager 4.2% (his all time favorite) and I went with a Pimm's Cup. Ok WOAH. National's Pimm's Cup is the best I've had so far, if you like a gingery drink with cucumber and orange...this is the drink for you. We then ordered fish tacos with a side of tater tots and beef sliders to share...both great finger foods.
The fish tacos were the build your own taco kind of deal. There was a fillet of Tilapia (I think), some guacamole, chips, pico de gallo, cabbage, some sort of delicious sauce and of course the tortilla. I really enjoyed these, especially because the fish is grill, not fried. On to the tater tots, they came with franks hot sauce and a ranch dip. Dipping the tater tot in the ranch then in frank's.....mouth watering!! I enjoyed the tater tots so much, Jason was asking me if there were any left for him. Now for the beef sliders, nothing spectacular, just your typical sliders.....lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, sauce. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad! Just nothing much compared to the fish tacos ;)
Before ordering our meals, we actually decided that we were going to try the deep fried mars bar for dessert so that got me excited. I LOVE SWEETS. We ordered one to share and it came with ice cream, a side of melted ice cream? and four mini fried mars bars that looked like mini corn dogs haha. They were...interesting. I took a bite of one and the caramel was oozing. It was good but I dont think I will order it again, something to try for sure though. Service was decent, nothing over the top great. Our server was there to fill our waters and take plates away but not as attentive as I would have liked.
Overall, we left pretty satisfied! National is a great place to hang out with your friends and have some fun! I love their idea of incorporating the games room and bowling alley... it's a total adult playground in the beltline. Oh! Just so you know minors are able to dine here but not after 9PM!!
